User Reviews for cranberry

I had 6 months of UTI infections because of my birth control pills. It was very painful. The best advice I have is drink lots of water, average 64 oz per day. Wash your private parts twice per day with warm water. Avoid using douche, intimate washes, soap to wash, and avoid using creams on your bum and inner thighs, until you feel better. Drink cranberry juice with a meal if you want, but don't over do it. The water would help flush out the bacteria through your urine. A healthy urine color is light yellow. After 6 months of UTIs, stopping my birth control medication, stopped my UTIs, 6 months of no periods, then a period every other month, and after a year my body healed and is back to the normal period every month. I am still concern about a undiagnosed bladder infection, which I am going to visit the doctor about. I would give the same advise to my family.Read More Read Less

Cranberry does nothing more than temporarily take away the burning in your urine. It balances your ph acidity in your urine so that the burning goes away temporarily. A lot of doctors have no idea about D-Mannose so they give you antibiotics that wreak havoc on your body. D mannose powder is the answer for UTI's I promise. You can get capsules or powder whichever is easiest for you to ingest. The D-Mannose goes into your bladder and the e-coli detaches from your bladder walls and attaches to the D-Mannose instead and then you just expel it all when you urinate. It's not hard on your body at all like antibiotics are. The one thing I have found out when looking for D-mannose to buy is not to buy it if it is manufactured in China. They do not have the same manufacturing rules and put harsh chemicals like formaldehyde in during the manufacturing process. Also, look for things like 100% pure D-mannose. As far as I know, there is only one company that manufactures in the United States. A lot of companies try to fool people with that statement. The one company I know that sells that legitimate product is WellnessPartners. They are a great small family-owned company I found a few years ago when I was looking for a good source of D-Mannose not made in China. I really hope this helps anyone that has had a horrible time finding something that works as I did for a long time. Iv has been ordering now with this same company for years now and they also ship it out so quickly. Which has saved me when I have got to the end of my jar and haven't ordered yet. "Panic ensues" Take care everyone and I really hope this helps someone.Read More Read Less

I TAKE 4200 MGS/DAY AND UTI'S REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY; HOWEVER, BE AWARE THAT SOME UTI'S CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE. I HAVE A DISCHARGE SUMMARY THAT EXPLICITLY STATES "BRAIN DAMAGE DUE TO UTI'S". IF BAD ENOUGH, UTI GETS INTO BLOOD SYSTEM AND TRAVELS THRU ENTIRE BODY.

I was experiencing chronic, reoccurring urinary tract infections and was taking antibiotics left right and center, and tons of painkillers. After my last antibiotic treatment, I began taking 420mg of Cranberry concentrate 1x a day for about 6 weeks to make sure I didn't get it again. I didn't. 1-2 days before sex I would take a capsule, and 1-2 days after sex I would take them (and drink a lot of water, and pee after sex of course). I can FEEL them come on sometimes and in the extremely early stages of developing a UTI, I take a capsule for about 3 days and it goes away. This has truly saved me a ton of distress & discomfort. So thankful for this over the counter supplement. I am not one to boast about the efficacy of simple tinctures but this Triple Strength Cranberry Concentrate with Vitamin C + E has changed the game for me. (I don't take it every day anymore, just a couple times a month)Read More Read Less

DON'T DO IT! Was told by my doctor it "wouldn't hurt" to drink as much cranberry juice and take as many cranberry supplements as I could for my UTI. The acid burned out my urinary tract and now I have a permanent urinary tract disease called interstitial cystitis, which feels like having a UTI every single day of my life. The urologist I saw said that nobody tells people that cranberry can do damage and using it to help with UTIs is a myth. Great! Life = ruined.

I was taking Cranberry Capsules by Vitabiotics for avoiding recurring UTI problems and chanced upon a discovery that it helps you build resistance against cold and flu virus. With all the members in my family falling ill with the virus I was unaffected by it.

excellent for stress incontinence regulation is male over fifty after radical prostatectomy. I am not sure what causes poor urinary control but it improves vastly when I take cranberry caps, and I urinate less often, which may be atypical for some, is normal for me.

Having a weak urine stream, due to OAB

urine flow still burns but burns less.

I took cvs brand cranberry pills 4200 mg and it caused me to have stomach cramping, upset stomach and I have sharp and stabbing pains in my stomach.

As a frequent flyer to the Urgent Care with UTIs every 3 months and a 9 day stay in the hospital with UTI so bad that it caused my delirium (I was asymptomatic) I tried the Diet Cranberry juice.Did nothing for me. I started taking 4200mg Cranberry Capsules, 2-3times daily. Haven't had a UTI in nearly a year! Brand name = Nature's Bounty

Had an UTI in mid 20's. Given antibiotics. Went away. Came back again approx. 3 months later. Diagnosed again. Doctor said I would probably have to live with recurring ones. I'm usually very healthy. Bothered he flippantly gave up. Give antibiotics. Didn't take them. Advised person to drink a lot of cranberry juice. After 2 days, the urination sting went away and after 2 weeks, or so, UTI was gone. NEVER had another one. Began my questioning of standard medicine and doctor's attitudes. Read on a medical site cranberry juice isn't effective after the UTI is established. As per my case, that ISN'T true because I already had the UTI before taking cranberry juice.Read More Read Less

The cranberry appears to keep it in check, but if I stop drinking Cranberry, it will come back in a day or two. Not a cure.

Note to Webmd and anyone drinking cranberry juice. 100% Pure Cranberry juice is available with no sugar or artificial sweetners is available. If you have diabetes, it would probably be best to avoid all artificial sweeteners too. It's surprising webmd wouldn't just recommend 100% juice as an option. Disappointing.

My Mother was having recurring UTI's and a hospice nurse suggested Cranberry supplement. So, I started ber on the most natural I could find, and she has not had a single one since. Thank God.

I am using this juice for the last couple of month.it is delicious and full of vitamin c. i am quite satisfactory with urine flow although sugar is controlled

I had been troubled by recurring UTI's, and my urinary tract physical therapist suggested that I would have better success with the capsules rather than the straight cranberry juice. She was absolutely right: I take 3 trunature capsules a day and have not had any UTI's for over 3 years and have had not other complications. Cranberry capsules are definitely for me!
